However, he had to stay in the hospital for a week.
Her son was only a few months old and she knew that the drip would be painful for him.
Thinking of this, Rena’s heart ached.
That night, Marcus’ fever finally subsided a little.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRena sat at the edge of his bed, gently touching his little face with remorse. She felt guilty, thinking that moving from one place to another was detrimental to his health.
Waylen stood by the window, quietly observing Rena.
Over the past few days, he had seen her as an alluring woman, but now, she was a devoted mother, deeply concerned about her child.
She appeared so vulnerable now.
Unable to resist the urge, Waylen walked over to Rena, gently stroking her long hair, and rested her head against his abdomen. Surprisingly, Rena didn’t push him away immediately.
She even closed her eyes briefly, finding some comfort in his touch.
However, the warmth lasted only a few seconds before Rena quickly distanced herself from him.
Waylen’s voice turned hoarse as he said, “You should rest. I’ll take care of Marcus.”
Although Rena agreed, sleep eluded her.
She went to the bathroom and fetched a warm towel to wipe Marcus’ body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWaylen stood behind her and asked in a low voice, “How did we get along in the past?”
Rena paused in hanging the towel.
She knew him well enough to understand what he meant by that question.
His actions that night and his current inquiry hinted that he desired to reconcile and reunite their family. She responded indifferently, “What’s the point of asking that?”
Waylen leaned his face on her shoulder, whispering, “Rena, can you tell me?”
Rena smiled faintly. “You are not him.”
Gently pushing him away, she said firmly, “Waylen, we’re already divorced. Other than the children, there’s no need for further contact or any romantic flings.
You’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
